"Orchids, Their History, Development & Care" Roslynn Greenberg
The Orchid, which is a semi-tropical plant, captured the imagination of many Victorian explorers, who dared jaguars, rivers, and jungles to collect a wide variety of Orchid speciments. Darwin himself wrote a book about orchids.
If you are an orchid enthusiast, this program will provide much information on how to grow them successfully at home.
Many large gardens, such as Longwood Gardens, have special exhibits devoted to the many diverse varieties grown to satisfy the eye, not only of those who grow them at home, but also those who can admire them without having to grow them!
Roslynn has been growing orchids for thirty five years. She joined the Central Jersey Orchid Society, shortly after becoming interested in orchid growing. She has served as President of the society for six years. Roslynn also has taught orchid classes at Princeton Adult School for fifteen years. She has given speeches to Garden Clubs in New Jersey and Pennsylvania for the past five years.
